Swing gates are considered a classic design, which is usually equipped with two leaves. They open inward or outward, depending on the needs of the user. The opening angle of such leaves is 110°. Gates of this type are well suited for use in yards of standard and large size. They are very common in summer cottage cooperatives, and they are also chosen for private houses in the urban sector.

Swing gates: what are their features and advantages?

Structurally similar objects can be single-leaf, double-leaf or made in the form of a folding book. In the first case, the gate will have one leaf that opens to the left or right. Double-leaf gates are a traditional option that has two leaves that open towards each other. The last option in the form of a so-called book has two elements that fold like an accordion when opened, which makes it possible to save space when opening the gate.

The classification of such objects also includes the method of installing the gate - surface-mounted or built-in. It is worth distinguishing swing gates from the point of view of automation. A linear lever or underground drive can be installed on them. The first is considered more common, having a worm gear and a gearbox mounted in the housing, which is attached to the leaf and post. The lever drive has a lever in its design, with which the motor is moved to open the leaves. The underground drive provides shelter underground, with the gate opening up to 180°.

The advantages of installing a fence with swing gates include the following:

  • simple design;
  • versatility - it is suitable for various uses;
  • accessibility for installing gate automation - including remote control installation;
  • the ability to integrate a wicket for convenient passage.

As the main materials in the manufacture of metal gates, metal is used as a sheet material. It is considered extremely durable, but requires installation only on a reinforced hinge. Another type is a gate made of corrugated board. This material is lighter, resistant to corrosion and durable in operation. In addition, sandwich panels and wood are also used in production. Welded gates can also be made of forged metal.

What is needed to install swing gates

Typically, the swing mechanism is equipped with two types of drives - manual or automatic. Manually operated gates include:

  • metal pillars for support;
  • hinged or hinged pillars;
  • central stop;
  • base frame;
  • hinges for the gate;
  • directly swinging leaves.

Automatic gates are additionally supplemented with drives that are installed on each leaf, a signal lamp and photocells, with the help of which a reaction to foreign objects occurs. This kit also includes a remote control - often in the form of a radio key fob.

The leaves on the hinge of the garage door are fixed on support pillars that are installed in the ground or on another base that can well withstand the weight of the gate. For optimal operation, the quality of the hinges, which can be purchased in a regular or reinforced form, is extremely important. For safe and long-term operation, they are treated with special anti-corrosion substances. Some hinge formats allow for adjustments during gate installation work.
